Superstars register a comprehensive win

Hyderabad: The Chennai Superstars with an all-round disciplined and tactical performance registered a comprehensive six-wicket victory over debutants Dhaka Warriors in the second match of the ICL 20s Indian Championship here at the LB stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday.

After opting to bat first, Warriors set off to a flying start with the left–right formidable opening combination of Shahriar Nafees and Mohammad Nazimuddin.

In fact, Nafees was in destructive mood as he fired three sparkling off-side boundaries to place his team at 16 for no loss at the end of the first 2 overs but unfortunately he mistimed a shot to Syed off the bowling of Jesuraj and departed after a quickfire 18 off 13 balls, including four hits to the boundary.

But that hardly stopped the run flow as Nazimuddin was joined by Aftab Ahmed in the middle who dealt in nothing less than big boundaries and scored at a strike rate of two hundred percent.

The extravagant stroke-play from the top-order saw Warriors reach 54-1 after 5 overs.

However, premiere spinner J Syed Mohammad and medium pacer Ganapathi Vignesh and Tamil Kumaran came out to Superstars' rescue as they put breaks on the Warrior's juggernaut.
